Dear members,

In order to show respect towards someones wishes, regarding if they want to get surprised by the new issue of the manga, please place the proper "Spoiler" prefix on your thread, whenever you create one that contains any spoilers. If you do decide to post any spoiler at all, while creating the thread, in the drop-down box before the thread title, again, please make sure you selected "Spoiler" as the thread prefix.

Thank you, NarutoBase Staff

The guy in the middle

Forgot to put spoiler in the prefix sorry.

The last pic of the zero squad the guy in the middle is a former kenpachi the 9th I believe. He was rumored to be the kenpachi with a bankai that can only be used every six months because it is so powerful.

Re: The guy in the middle

I read somethin about the 7th kenpachi having a bankai that had a 6month time period between uses i'll find it and post it.

Also I would like to point out that bankai notes have already stated what Mayuri said. Here.

Weakness: A high enough level of spiritual energy can be used to disrupt the rhythm of a Bankai. The biggest flaw of Bankai lies in the overwhelming power it releases. Its power and form are often far beyond that of a normal weapon. This is the reason that in order for one to become capable of using it completely and effectively, one needs to train at least 10 years with Bankai. Any Bankai before that period of time has been reached should not be used in battle.[48] A broken bankai can never be returned to its former state. The only exception being captain Sajin Komamura's bankai, those two share a bond so strong that when one is injured the other reflects that damage but the bankai is healed when the captain is healed.[49]

That was from the novel written by Narita, and as far as we know, the characters and their abilities added in the novel were never confirmed as canon by Kubo. Kubo did applaud the novel and praised Narita for supposedly figuring out that Kenpachi could apparently scale his power to match his opponent's (which we've yet to see the extent of, though it probably doesn't matter given Kenpachi was utterly humiliated by Royd).
